Sensory Writing Exercises

Join Adrienne in this segment of The Page Listens to learn how to explore all corners of your mind on paper. Personal writing can be one of the most freeing, therapeutic and nourishing practices you can gift yourself.

Listen in as Adrienne offers prompts and exercises that will encourage you to step out of your daily caregiving world and into new spaces. Sensory writing encourages us to focus in on our different senses to encourage more rich detail in our imagination. We benefit from exercises like this as it enrichens the quality of our writing and simultaneously offer a meaningful respite from caregiving by whisking our minds away from stressful moments and into a more serene and relaxed environment.

  1. Adrienne,
    I enjoyed listening to your video. It’s interesting what provides respite for each of us. For my mom, it was always her painting, which she continued with until her death at 91. For me, it has always been writing. Putting words on paper has been a release, an escape and often times a path to discovery. Looking forward to more of “The Page Listens.”
